[COLOR=#333333][FONT=comic sans ms]Initially it sounds like a really bad idea but when you stop and think about adding it to all those good things like sambal, stew, cake, coffee, etc. etc. it kinda grows on you.
I'm bringing in a rucksack full next time I cross the border.
Kids will be dropping like flies from snorting it though so buy lots because it will probably get banned almost immediately again.

As one guy interviewed on the BBC said when asked if he would buy it "Hmmm, taking a bag of white powder into a club? Not a clever idea"
I'd say the same about swanning through customs with it

The Thumbs up was rescinded recently. I guess the manufacturer did not grease the right palms.

"The product, called Palcohol, had received the greenlight from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau briefly last year before the bureau backtracked and said the label approvals had been given in error.
On Wednesday 11-03-15, bureau spokesman Tom Hogue told The Associated Press the issues were resolved and that four varieties of Palcohol were approved. But Hogue noted that states can also regulate alcohol sales in their borders.
The approval is a step forward for a small company whose product plans have already sparked controversy.
Several states have already moved to ban powdered alcohol, including lawmakers in Colorado who last month advanced legislation to temporarily halt its sale. That bill has since morphed to ensure the regulation of powdered alcohol as if it were liquid alcohol once it gets federal approval."
I guess the correct palms have been greased after all.
